    Mercruise 2002 3.0L Starter issue

    Engine Serial Number: OM322003 My buddy's 2002 3.0L 4 cyl had bolts break and drop his starter, we repairs the bolts. Now the starter seems to hit the flywheel and grind?

    Welding Cast Iron 3.0L 2003 Mercruiser

    My buddy has a 2003 Bayliner 17' (2003) with the 3.0L 4 cylinder...for this question model number doesn't really matter. His father left him the boat when he passed away a few years ago. At some point in time the starter went out and his dad either a) replaced it himself or b) had someone...

HERE'S THE...

    Trailer Woes...I think I'm the common denominator?

    So, after getting back from Lake Powell, we went boating the following Sunday (got back Thursday), not one issue towing, checked hub temps at every refuel and they weren't even warm. ​1 week later went camping about 40 miles away (our home reservoir). I towed our camper and the wife towed...

    A New Anchor

    Went into my office today and my fellow boater/buddy had an anchor sitting in there! It's heavy and pretty good sized? Maybe too large for the Cobalt?!

    Volvo Penta SX ---> DPS

    Hey all you great knowledgeable iboaters!! I recently purchased a 2003 Cobalt 220 with the 5.7 Volvo Penta GXi with a DPS outdrive. Very happy with the look and performance of the boat. The only thing I dislike is a previous owner had some pitting on the outdrive and rather than sand it and...
